Other nominees this year shared similar reactions online after hearing the good news. Best new artist and record of the year nominee Megan Thee Stallion celebrated her Grammy nominations by giving back.
The rapper shared a link to her new album “Good News” and asked Twitter followers to share their Cashapp usernames for a chance to win money. “Hotties let’s celebrate the Grammy nominations and my new album,” she said in the post.

With four nominations — including best new artist — Phoebe Bridgers seemed at a loss for words when she finally shared her reaction on Tuesday. “I just woke up what,” she posted, seemingly unprepared for the amount of recognition her music had garnered.

And somewhat auspiciously, just the day after Dan + Shay celebrated 10,000 hours since the release of “10,000 Hours,” the song earned a best country duo/group performance nomination. “OMG GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR #10KHOURS,” the duo tweeted.
